ACCESS: Call for Art

Show Submission – FAQ & Form

Please read before completing form.

What does it feel like to find a way through? To hold a door open, to build one where there wasn't one before?

Offroute Art invites 2D artists to submit work exploring access: physical, social, creative, economic, intellectual, & more.

It’s also the pathways we forge, the communities that carry us, and the hope that makes it possible. We welcome all interpretations

Who can submit art?

Anyone ages 16–25
Must live in Pittsburgh or the Greater Pittsburgh Region

What kind of art can I submit?

2D artwork

Artwork will be on public view for all ages at the Carnegie Library in Oakland. Because of this, we cannot display artwork that is overly graphic, violent, or disturbing.

How does submission work?

If your artwork is accepted, you will receive a confirmation email no later than July 6.
We will send you a form where you will list for each piece that is accepted:
- Title
- Price or not for sale
- Size/measurements
Artists must drop off their artwork the week of July 20 - 25 in either Hazelwood or Bloomfield.
If your artwork sells, you will be paid via PayPal within 48 hours of the sale.
We encourage you to attend our closing reception - details to come!
